What was Mark Twain’s point about speculating in stocks in October?

  1. Only October is a bad month for speculating in stocks

  2. October is as dangerous as any other month for speculating in stocks

  3. Speculating in stocks is always a good idea

  4. Speculating in stocks is only bad in the fall

The correct answer is: October is as dangerous as any other month for speculating in stocks

Mark Twain's point was not about the month of October specifically. His point was that speculating in stocks at any time is risky and should be approached with caution. Option A is incorrect because Twain did not specify that only October is a bad month for speculating. Option C is incorrect because Twain did not believe that speculating in stocks is always a good idea. Option D is incorrect because Twain's point was not limited to just the fall season.
